ATP was also known as All Tomorrow's Parties, and African Tribe Punk before. But when one of ATP fans, who happen to be a chemist, suggested
ADENOSINE TRI PHOSPHATE in 1998, ATP became
ATP....Adenosine Tri Phosphate.....

ATP Japan tour will start in May 2004.

Why not? Depends on who they are.

ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) is:
1. energy-craving molecule present in all life forms
2. ATP assaults your senses with maximum sonic excitement.

Band History:
After breaking up his former band, African Tribe Punk, sonic experimental guitarist Mug started to run "Bazooka recording Studio" in Tokyo. And
soon he started to look for members to form Adenosine Tri Phosphate.
The concept of the new band was....
"Pop Music with Punk Spirit..and Sonic Experimental Twist.....".


CD, Sun Dancer. This allowed the band to move on to bigger venues,
ultimately leading to appearances on Japanese national television shows such as Zeus' Holiday and Jaka-Jan. Dash/Dash, a documentary styled program, touted ATP as the best thing in Japanese alternative music.

Then, ATP decided to "live" in the studio. For more than 2 years, ATP
did not play in front of audience, and instead they continued their search of new music in the studio by experimenting, producing others, and continuously recording...


Aroused Zen Monk was the band's first album since Sundancer. It was a collection of songs ATP recorded during the time. And it became available to the world thanks to newly established media, Internet.

MP3.com, one of the founder of the movement really helped ATP to gain many overseas Fans. In fact, their songs were downloaded more than ONE MILLION times.

MP3.com's chairman, Mr. Robertson even mentioned ATP in his newsletter, as the Greatest unknown band from Asia, and as
the good example of Internet possibility.

Aroused Zen Monk (Mp3 CD)
became one of the best sellers at MP3.com, and even made Top 10 in
several College Radios...all without any promotion activity....thanks to
Mr. Robertson and Internet.


ATP did the first overseas tour in 2000, visiting all over Asia. ATP finished the long exciting tour with Headlining appearance at "Psychedelic 2000" festival in HongKong.

In 2001 ATP released the soundtrack for the anime movie Guilstein, an action/horror film based on the manga by Tamaki Hisao. CD is released from Universal/Kitty. DVD is released throu Shogakukan in Japan.


In 2002 ATP toured all over Japan. Including headlining appearances at "All Tomorrow's parties 2002 Tokyo" festival and "Greater Tokyo" festival.

The result was more than 50 new songs!
(Demo version of some of those songs are available from internet,
